Porter's Pub at UCSD

Of the few places that legally sell adult beverages on UCSD’s campus, Porter’s Pub is the most laid back. Professors, grad students, undergrads, and research teams get loose and/or downright drunk here. Beer greases the wheels of networking at this institution, and most people are approachable. You could end up talking to the Mick Jagger of neuroscience — some instructors even hold office hours at the pub. There is a good-sized patio out back, with plenty of tables and smoking spots. Porter’s Pub hosts nationally known performers from time to time. That’s when the place really goes off.
